The Arista DCS-7060CX-32S-R is a high-performance 32-port 40/100GbE QSFP100 switch with 2x 10GbE SFP+ ports, optimized for modern data center networking. Designed with rear-to-front airflow, this 1RU fixed-configuration switch delivers 6.4Tbps of total throughput with ultra-low latency as low as 450ns in cut-through mode.
The Arista 7060CX-32S supports flexible port configurations, allowing speeds of 100GbE, 40GbE, 4x10GbE, 4x25GbE, or 2x50GbE, making it ideal for high-density top-of-rack (ToR) and spine deployments. Its 16MB dynamically shared packet buffer ensures smooth handling of congested network traffic, reducing bottlenecks.
For next-gen cloud networking, the Arista 7060CX2-32S offers support for IEEE 25GbE and an expanded 22MB shared packet buffer, maintaining the same 450ns ultra-low latency.
The Arista 7060X and 7260X Series are purpose-built, high-performance, fixed-configuration data center switches, featuring wire-speed Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding. Designed for software-defined cloud networking, they support advanced monitoring, automation, and telemetry capabilities, making them ideal for scalable, high-density environments.
